Alabama (34-17, 12-14 SEC) pounced early with three runs after three batters and extended the lead to 12-0 with eight runs in the fifth.
Jace LaViolette hit his third home run of the weekend in the bottom of the sixth before play was halted due lightning strikes in the area at 1:59 into the afternoon's play.
Play resumed after a 33-minute delay and the Aggies were unable to claw back into the contest.
LaViolette was the lone Aggie with multiple hits, going 2-for-3 on the day.
